> This issue was reported by Jim Weaver via a nabble user forum post[1]. The JPA specification clearly states that queries upon a mapped superclass are not permitted, but the OpenJPA documentation has a note saying that they are supported[2].
> Given:
> @MappedSuperclass class A { }
> @Entity class B extends A { }
> @Entity class C extends A { }
> I found that:
> a) The em.find(A.class, id) operation does indeed allow the use of mapped superclass. OpenJPA issues a select upon tables B and C looking for a matching ID.
> b) A JPQL query does not: SELECT a FROM A a fails with exception: (as reported by Jim)
> I receive error message "An error occurred while parsing the query filter
> "SELECT a FROM A a". Error message: The name "A" is not a recognized
> entity or identifier. Perhaps you meant B, which is a close match. Known
> entity names: [B, C]"
> I attempted the same test with the OpenJPA base 1.0 provider and it failed with the same error so it doesn't look like this was ever supported via. JPQL.
> If the decision is made not to provide this support in the near future, the documentation should be updated to qualify that mapped superclass is only allow on a find.
